·Hi OF,
For sale is my Omega Constellation ref. 168.005, dating to 1966, with the chronometer-rated Cal. 561.
This is the stainless steel dogleg case variant with an original silver crosshair domed dial.
The watch was serviced by my watchmaker in Apr 2026. I do not have a formal receipt, but I have included plenty of movement photos and post-service timegrapher results.
A few notes: the dial is original, with age-related speckling visible under close inspection. The case may have been lightly polished at some point. The crown is an original Omega crown, but not period-correct for the watch.
Details
Condition
I also have a BOR bracelet, ref. 1036 with no. 11 end links, available separately if that is of interest.
Price: €1000 + shipping
~ €40 with EMS, ~ €60-90 with UPS/DHL
Payment by Wise, bank transfer, crypto, or PayPal F&F (+4.5% if buyer prefers G&S).
Returns only if grossly misrepresented. As always, photos are part of the description, and I’m happy to provide additional pictures or answer specific questions.
Vintage watches are not waterproof. Even if gaskets have been replaced during service, these watches were not built to modern water resistance standards and should be kept away from water, humidity, and steam.
I have some humble references here and r/watchexchange, please do ask 😀
Cheers,
Harry
